Compositional Attention
This repository is an implementation of Compositional Attention: Disentangling Search and Retrieval by MILA. Revisiting standard Multi-head attention through the lens of multiple parallel and independent search and retrieval mechanisms, this leads to static pairings between searches and retrievals, often leading to redundancy of parameters. They reframe the "heads" of multi-head attention as "searches", and once the multi-headed/searched values are aggregated, there is an extra retrieval step (using attention) off the searched results. The experiments establish this as an easy drop-in replacement for Multi-head attention.
Installation
Run the following to install:
pip install compositional-attention
Developing compositional-attention
To install compositional-attention, along with tools you need to develop and test, run the following in your virtualenv:
git clone https://github.com/Rishit-dagli/compositional-attention.git
# or clone your own fork
cd compositional-attention
pip install -e .[dev]
Usage
import tensorflow as tf
from compositional_attention import CompositionalAttention
attn = CompositionalAttention(
dim = 1024, # input dimension
dim_head = 64, # dimension per attention 'head' - head is now either search or retrieval
num_searches = 8, # number of searches
num_retrievals = 2, # number of retrievals
dropout = 0.1, # dropout of attention of search and retrieval
)
tokens = tf.random.uniform([1, 512, 1024]) # tokens
mask = tf.ones([1, 512], dtype=tf.dtypes.bool) # mask
out = attn(tokens, mask = mask) # (1, 512, 1024)
